Strength in Love 💪❤️ | Daily Tarot Card Meanings for Relationships
"Power of vulnerability and resilience."
The Strength card in Tarot, whether upright or reversed, is a powerful symbol of the inner courage, resilience, and fortitude that love requires. It speaks to the heart's ability to overcome obstacles, to be brave in the face of vulnerability, and to find balance between personal power and compassion in relationships. Strength in love is not just about enduring tough times; it's about growing from them, finding harmony in conflict, and nurturing a bond that is both strong and gentle.
Strength (Upright) in a Love Reading
New Relationship
A Strength personality will seek a mate who is as vibrant as they are. They don’t seek a perfect partner but do desire someone who is improving their life in some way. A Strength person will be repelled by anyone who appears unmotivated. In the beginning of a relationship, this person seeks energy, attention, passion, action, and fun.
Long Term Partnership
Strength can signify a relationship which has weathered many challenges. This card can also appear when one partner must exert self-control over their own desire to maintain the balance of the union. Strength often implies a continuing challenge which must be habitually confronted. However, the foundation of this partnership is strong.
Seeking Romance
If you are single, Strength appears to advise you to engage in some form of self-improvement. Work-out at the gym. Seek a more fulfilling job. Return to school. Engage in Spirit-work. Cultivate a talent. Participate in activities that strengthen your confidence and self-esteem. This will stoke the fires of your presence and confidence.
Strength (Reversed) in a Love Reading
New Relationship
Strength reversed can represent a relationship partner who requires validation. They may not feel confident or strong and will struggle with taking the lead. This person requires encouragement, and not criticism before they feel they can be more vulnerable.
Long Term Partnership
Strength reversed can represent a connection to a person who struggles with self-restraint. This can manifest as an addictive tendency or the inability to restrain their impulses. Sometimes this card will appear as a warning not to enable a destructive behavior, just to placate the raging lion. Stand up for your values and hold high standards for what you know is right.
Seeking Romance
Strength reversed can signify a person who is seeking love, but still harbors uncomfortable, bottled-up emotions surrounding rejection, anger, or humiliation from the past. Before a new partnership can be initiated, self-confidence must be restored. Exercise, engaging activities, or creative expression are wonderful ways to nurse the wounded lion back to health.
